excuse me, I hope that people who read this don't think I am be utterancesing a little pretentious, however, generative grammar is, along with systemic functional Grammar to terms that I have trouble with. If I have trouble with them that means that may be someone else also has trouble (probably not Mike).
Generative grammar is a term theorised by Chomsky around circa 1960. Generative grammar is, in the eyes of Chomsky, starting to move away from formal grammar. In formal grammar, Chomsky theorises that language concerts of strings of words that are constructed by applying rules to sequence of of utterances. These occurrences appear on the right as symbols for example V,P,N etc.
A sequence of the rule is called derivation. In generative grammar, Chomsky theorises language appearing in concentric circles starting words regular and then contexts free, context sensitive and lastly recursively innumerable. All language that can be recognised is generated here. The language is also recognised as the recurring innumerable language. Everything you hear about the language is context free.
